"value": "En las versiones de fickling de Trail of Bits hasta la 0.1.11 inclusive, la pasada de an\u00e1lisis UnsafeImportsML llama incondicionalmente a AnalysisContext.shorten_code(node) en cada nodo de importaci\u00f3n que inspecciona, independientemente de si la importaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 marcada como insegura. Esta llamada registra la representaci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo acortada en el conjunto compartido AnalysisContext.reported_shortened_code. Cuando la pasada de an\u00e1lisis MLAllowlist se ejecuta posteriormente, llama al mismo m\u00e9todo shorten_code(), recibe already_reported=True para cada importaci\u00f3n y ejecuta una sentencia continue que omite completamente su verificaci\u00f3n de lista de permitidos. Esto convierte a MLAllowlist en c\u00f3digo muerto para todas las importaciones - nunca eval\u00faa si una importaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 en la lista de permitidos de ML o no. La pasada MLAllowlist fue dise\u00f1ada para detectar importaciones de m\u00f3dulos fuera del ecosistema de ML conocido como seguro (torch, numpy, transformers, etc.) que escapan a la lista de denegados de UnsafeImports. Con MLAllowlist inoperativa, cualquier m\u00f3dulo de la biblioteca est\u00e1ndar que no est\u00e9 en la lista de denegados UNSAFE_IMPORTS puede ser invocado a trav\u00e9s de la deserializaci\u00f3n de pickle mientras que check_safety() de fickling devuelve LIKELY_SAFE. La API fickling.load() encadena check_safety() en pickle.loads() como una puerta de seguridad expl\u00edcita, lo que significa que un veredicto LIKELY_SAFE hace que la carga \u00fatil sea deserializada y ejecutada. La causa ra\u00edz es el estado mutable compartido entre pasadas de an\u00e1lisis independientemente correctas - UnsafeImportsML funciona seg\u00fan lo dise\u00f1ado de forma aislada, MLAllowlist funciona seg\u00fan lo dise\u00f1ado de forma aislada, pero el conjunto compartido reported_shortened_code hace que UnsafeImportsML envenene la l\u00f3gica de deduplicaci\u00f3n de MLAllowlist."

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
